EXAMPLE 7-3: WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY (CONTINUED)
7.5.2 WRITE VERIFY
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.
7.5.3 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and
reprogrammed, if needed. If the write operation is
interrupted by a MCLR
Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset
during normal operation, the user can check the
WRERR bit and rewrite the location(s) as needed.
7.5.4 PROTECTION AGAINST
SPURIOUS WRITES
To protect against spurious writes to Flash program
memory, the write initiate sequence must also be
followed. See Section 20.0 “Special Features of the
CPU” for more detail.
7.6 Flash Program Operation During
Code Protection
See Section 20.5 “Program Verification and Code
Protection” for details on code protection of Flash
program memory.
